Summer TV is largely a wasteland, save what you can find on the premium cable networks and a few of the better cable networks: AMC, FX, TNT. But the network offerings are dreadful, so dreadful in fact that — among the 18-49 demographic — Univision programming fares better than most shows on the big four (the Spanish-language network has seven shows in the top 25). Otherwise, it’s almost all reality shows and reruns. Seriously, it is the pits.
Here’s last week’s top 25 shows in the 18-demo: How many did you watch?

2. American’s Got Talent (Monday)
3. So You Think You Can Dance

Also, if you’re curious, “Community” reruns in their new timeslot — Friday, after “Whitney” — are receiving around 1.8 million viewers. Among the big four, only a “House” rerun fared worse on all of Friday night.
